Virtual Instances · $1103.54/mo (192 GB RAM, 48 vCPU)
The Scaleway STANDARD2-A48C-192G at $1,103.54/mo is end-of-life and significantly overpriced compared to modern alternatives. Multiple dedicated servers and cloud instances with comparable or superior specs are available at 80-90% lower cost, though you'll need to verify exact CPU core counts and storage configurations against your workload requirements.
Matches 48 vCPU and exceeds RAM (128GB vs 192GB) with 3.84TB NVMe for less than 18% of Scaleway's price, plus 20TB EU traffic included.
Caveat: Setup fee rising to 159 EUR in 2026; traffic overages charged beyond 20TB EU pool; VAT not included in quoted price.
128GB RAM and 24 vCPU at 19% of Scaleway cost with unlimited traffic and 2x1TB SSD; 24-month prepay term locks in rate.
Caveat: Only 24 vCPU (half Scaleway's core count); shorter contract terms cost more per month; fair usage policy may throttle sustained high bandwidth.
128GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 1.92TB SSD at 25% of Scaleway price with 99.9% SLA and 1-5 day delivery.
Caveat: Only 24 vCPU (half Scaleway's core count); prices exclude VAT; delivery time variable.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 3TB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth at 28% of Scaleway cost with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Renewal price increases 2-3x after intro term; 36-month prepay required for lowest advertised rate; aggressive upsell prompts at checkout.
32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, 3.2TB SSD RAID-10, 10TB transfer at 48% of Scaleway cost with 100% uptime SLA.
Caveat: Advertised price is promotional (50% off first 2 months); renewal pricing significantly higher; Windows licensing adds surcharge.
